Correct three answers:

B. John Adams

C. Thomas Jefferson

D. Benjamin Franklin


<u>Further information:</u>

While Rousseau and Locke were not founding fathers of the USA, they were important for their influence on the thinking of America's founding fathers.  According to an article on "Intellectual Influences on the Declaration of Independence" from Southern Methodist University:

  • <em>While the Declaration of Independence had many influences, the most notable was the influence of the Social Contract. The Social Contract is the agreement between the government and its citizens, and defines the rights of each party. John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau are most notable for the creation of the social contract political philosophy. </em>

In addition to the social contract theory pioneered by thinkers like Locke and Rousseau, America's founding fathers were influenced also by the political writing of Montesquieu, another European Enlightenment philosopher.   The "separation of powers" principle was an idea embedded into the US Constitution by our founding fathers, based on ideas introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu, in his  important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 1748.
